Mug Brownie

I found this little gem while surfing Pinterest.  In fact, this is what I posted about it:  "Oh my... oh my... oh my. This is DELICIOUS! It's the perfect fix for a chocolate craving. Yum! I'm thinking about making up little containers of the dry ingredients so that I can just dump, add the liquid ingredients, and microwave myself to a little happiness. Someone with WW eTools should figure out the new Points Plus for these little darlin's. =)."


I did just that, by the way.  I found all those teeny-tiny little rubbermade containers that no one is ever sure what to do with, and I made up eight batches of dry ingredients.  Now, as the evening draws to an end, I can easily dump, stir, and nuke my way to a little guilt free indulgence.

Mug Brownie

1 mug (doesn't have to be too big)
nonstick spray

2 T. flour
1 1/2 T. granulated Splenda
2 t. cocoa powder
1/4 t. baking powder
1/4 t. instant coffee granules, optional
sprinkle of salt

2 T. milk
1 t. oil
1 drop of vanilla

Spray the inside of the mug with nonstick spray.  Combine the dry ingredients in the mug; stir in the wet ingredients just until combined.  Microwave on HIGH for at least 35 but not more than 40 seconds.  Top with powdered sugar or a spray of aerosol whipped cream.  Enjoy!
